Little Things.
lKernersville News.1

i heTnGTSVtllC NtWS.t
One of the great Causes of failuae in
life, why SO many boys make ship
wreck of lives which promise so much,
may be accounted for in the tendency
on their part to overlook the little
things in life. The little clvilities. the
careful saving of the smallest earnings,
the guarding against the little errors
which creep into their moral character,
and in putting the ideal Of their ambi-
ton in the clouds, expecting to reach
it from the imitation of pride, without
climbing by cautious footsteps up the
rugged heights. Any one may see the
yaw1ling chasms, but only careful
watching reveals the equally fatal, but
less perceptible, objects of destruction
which strew the pathway OF the ambl-
tious youth. And where the contest
is so fierce, only those can hope to
reach the goal who profit by the little
things of life. Watch the "llttle
things.''

Practice as Well as Preach.
Milton Advertiser

Our farmers talk very nicely about
diversifyipg their crops and making
more of the necessaries Of life; about
raising more corn, wheat, oats, hogs,
&c. But we are afraid that when the
time comes for pitching their crops as
many of them as are able will be found
inclined to spread themselves and put
in as large crops of tobacco as possible.
They must raise more "meat and
bread" and depend less upon tobacco
if they wish to prosper. And the soon
er they see the truth of this statement
the better it will be for them.

Patriotism North and South.
ILeaksville EchO.1

There is to-daya stronger national
feeling IN the breasts of Southern men,
than in our Northern brethren. This
is plainly seen in the speeches delivered
in Congress. Southern statesmen are
free from the prejudices which dwarf
the minds of Northern men, and grasp
national questions with a comprehen-
siveness that knows no North or South,
East or West, but one great common
wealth, the common inheritance of us
ALL We have been particularly struck
with this fact by reading the discus
sion of the Mexican pension bill and
the Canadian fishery question. One
potent influence that tends to this re-
suit, is the homogeneousness OF our
people, while the large proportion OF
foreigners North produce a result di-
rectly the opposite. Hence we are
opposed to an influx of foreigners
South.

A MIRROR.
BY NORA F. HIGGINS0N.

It's only a looking glass true,
And reflects back shadow for shadow,
The very image OF you.
The good deeds will always be smiling,
The bad will look vicious and vile.
The face you behold in the mirror
Is only yourself all the while.
And the longer the shadows reflected,
The deeper the impress Will be,
IT shows for good or for evil.
As it sends back the features you see.
You're only to take the world easy,
Mingle alone with the good TO be had
And the face You see in the mirror
Will always be happy and glad.

When a man begins to go down the
hill he finds everything creased for the

to climb up he finds everything creased
for the occasion, too.

EGrry G. Roop, Harry j. Senay and
Harry A. Chesley, who were convicted
before judge Gordon of keeping disor.
derly concert saloons and gardens, Phila.,
were yesterday sentenced to year each in
the County Prison and to pay q $500 fine,
the full extent OF the law. 2 llzabeth
Mettler, who pleaded guilty TO keeping a
house OF bad repute, was senteEced TO
two years' imprisonment and to pey fine
of 81 .006. Judge Biadle was sitting Ia
the New Court House, and Judge Gordon
came in from the Court of Common
Pleas to sentence the prisoners.
In passing sentence Judge Gordon c. Id
that their otienses were accompanied by
circumstances of greSt aggravatioa.
They had played into each others hands;
had conducted their places for years after
they had been warned after errlng chill
dren had been TAX en- from their dives and
for some time after they had been indict-
ed. Their places were SO notorious they
were known beyond the city, and the evi
dence had shown they were conducted for
the purpose of alluring the young and
corruptiug them in mind and deiilng
them in body. Their cases were more
llagrant than ordinary disorderly house
cases, and his only regret was that he
could not punish then more severely.
After Judge Gordon had retired James
and Margaret Robb were convicted before
Judge Biddlc of keeping disorlerly
house at 1914 Sanderson street, In the
southwest section of the city. The com
plant was made by the neighbors of the
defendants and thirte n witnesses were
examined. The Judge fined the defend
ants $500 each and sentenced them to one
year.

similarly inclosed. When the lid oi
